Open Keep: Private notes

Jack Barker Apps

About this app

Open Keep is a simple, privacy-focused note-taking app designed for users who want full control over their data. No Google dependency, no personal data collection - just your notes, stored how and where you choose.

Write notes using clean and powerful Markdown (.md), protect sensitive content with passcode protection/biometrics, and keep everything in sync across your devices using your preferred cloud storage provider.

Key Features:

- DeGoogled – No reliance on Google services
- Cloud sync (Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive)
- Markdown Support (.md) – Write and edit notes in a standard, portable format
- Password Protection – Secure your notes with passcode/biometrics
- Import & Export Notes – Easily move your data in or out at any time
- Encrypted – 256-bit AES encryption, which is an industry standard (often referred to as military-grade encryption)

Unlike Google Keep, Open Keep gives you complete ownership of your notes with no Google dependency, no tracking, and no personal data collection. Your notes stay where you choose.

Open Keep is ideal for users who value privacy, data ownership, and open formats - whether you’re taking quick notes or writing lists.

Your notes. Your storage. Your control.
